    Colours is played with a number of children, all the children get a colour except two. They name a colour - the one with that colour runs to a "den", if he is caught before he reaches the den he is out.

    Hide and go seek
    You aren't the week
    Who must go and hide?
    The one on whom "hide" falls leaves the line and hides, and so on until one is left. He then must find the others and catch them before they can reach "the den".
